You're arguing some weird semantics. SourceForge is the brand, but my company is an investment vehicle that purchased the ASSET sourceforge.net from the previous company. Do some basic research on corporate structures if you need more help.
You posted this twice so I'll respond twice: We actually don't bundle spyware with our installers. In fact that's the first practice we eliminated when we acquired SourceForge in 2016, along with instituting malware scans for every project, https downloads and project web hosting, a redesigned experience, and much more. https://arstechnica.com/inform...

My company has never bundled malware with any projects. In fact we eliminated that practice immediately after acquiring SourceForge and now scan every single project on the site for malware.
Thanks 93. I appreciate it. Sometimes I feel like someone saw it fit to burn down a museum and all the contents inside, and I stepped in to put out the fire, yet I still get some really vile hatred. In case anyone is wondering, here's what we've done since we acquired SourceForge in 2016 https://sourceforge.net/blog/i...
Yes just live testing a feature that 93 Escort Wagon remembers from a while back. Autoposting extremely popular firehose items to the front page. Won't happen unless it's extremely popular.
Thanks for the kind words. Yeah it's definitely targeted at getting the software in front of an end user, especially non-technical end users. The search and discovery features are good for people to just find the software they need. Glad you like it. We do have some projects with hundreds or even thousands of repos within a single project, so that does work, but it can be cumbersome or slow in some places. I'd recommend making multiple projects depending on how those 100+ repos relate to each other. Several projects to split the repos into, or even 1 project per repo.

Agreed. We never do. Thank you.
Calling someone a jackass doesn't get people to listen to you either
Calm down dude, I'm right.
Again, completely different ownership. Our only history is removing all that crap and spending a lot of time and resources on improvements.

Thank you
Maybe. Although to use your analogy, I'd consider us more "Germany" than the individual who runs it.
Huh? SourceForge did. My company did not. The first thing we did was get rid the bundled adware. Literally as soon as we signed the papers.
Yeah you said that already
Lol
Thanks for the feedback. I will explore it. By the way if you log in you'll never see ads.

Still over a million daily users, so we're gonna do right by them
Completely different owners did that. We eliminated that nonsense ASAP in 2016
Thank you my friend. Such is the world.

What's wrong with you?
Completely different owners did that. We got rid of all that nonsense back in 2016

This story was autoposted from the Firehose without editor input due to reaching an extreme threshold of upvotes. New feature we are testing
